7.3.2 Operating instructions
CAUTION
The operator must immediately stop the work performed with the hoist if there are
people staying in the danger zone of the hoist. The work may continue only after such
persons have left the danger zone.
Any person who detects a threat to other persons or a safety-relevant defect or
shortcoming of the hoist, must immediately switch off the hoist.
If the hoist was switched off due to a safety-relevant defect, then it must be secured against unauthorized use. A
specialist must examine whether or not the cause of the hazard was eliminated and whether or not operation can
continue without a hazard.
CAUTION
In an emergency situation, all motion can be stopped by actuating the red emergency
stop push-button.
After this the hoist is not detached from voltage!
In order to lock the emergency stop push-button turn it clockwise.
